Abstract

Health Care Services are significant in providing social justice and equal life opportunities to individuals in the society. The health care system of today, is evoking criticism from various corners, for its rising costs due to introduction of expensive sophisticated technology, maldistribution, dehumanisation and heavy bureaucratisation, etc. This is particularly true for the developing countries where on one hand, increasing population and ever changing disease patterns (due to developing activities like agriculture, irrigation, mining and industrialisation, etc.) and growing expectations of the people (due to increase in education and communication) on the other, exert further pressure on the limited health care resources. Now it is a general feeling that the health care expenditure is not matched with its achievements.
